Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

Evening local politics fans.

It's the last chance for us to dig into council business before everyone starts to pack up and go on

holiday so yes we have a packed agenda of all things good that are coming to the

council chamber this Tuesday for us to give you the almost like the match of the

day highlights before the uh before the match

even kicks off so um how are you simon hey yeah i'm i'm doing fine thanks um ian it's um we've got the

kind of the end insight as you say for that for the summer but um yeah i'm doing okay if anybody can hear the kind of the end in sight, as you say, for the summer, but yeah, I'm doing okay.

If anybody can hear any kind of motoring noises in the background, I think that you can.

But that will be because some people seem to think that we live in Brandt's Hatch.

Yes, yes, unfortunately, the entire Cossham,Draken side of the hill kind of has become, over the last few weeks, has become a regular racetrack for motorcyclists.

And despite multiple angry posts by neighbours and local councillors expressing their concern. It would seem, despite the

fact that they gather at the appropriate time, okay, everybody see at six o'clock, well, we're going

to drive irresponsibly. At the moment, the police seem somewhat powerless to intervene and yeah we've spent our summer is

being played out to the background of racing motorbike noises which um yeah i don't

make either of us particularly warm and fuzzy, is it silent?

No, no.

I just hope that everybody keeps safe because it sounds like they're not really driving that safely, to be honest.

But there we go.

Anyway, moving on.
